Stinky The Clown

As the week ends, I had to think about what pissed me off the most . . . . .

. . . . . and it was Trump ordering the State Department to ignore Obama and withhold diplomatic and logistical support when he visited Pretoria for Mandella's 100th birthday celebration.

It was petty and hateful in the extreme.

Donald is a VERY small man.

He is a small petty damaged man. The one thing that is good about that is that Trump is miserable and hates his own life.

. . . . some level of support when they are outside the country. Not full diplomatic support, but more along the lines of minor support. Motorcade permits. Maybe booking a venue. That sort of thing. This is the first time in anyone's memory that they were ordered not to get involved.

the humiliation that president Obama laid on him at that correspondence dinner.

Personally I think that segment should be replayed monthly, it never gets old. Get Tom Steyer to fund it.

If he had simply stayed out of politics, kept on doing his real estate and money laundering scams he would have been remembered in history in a relatively minor way. But because his fragile ego and flabby wallet needed a boost, he decided to run for President. And with the help of his BFF he won. So now he is assured of a significant place in American (indeed world) history. What he fails to recognize is he will be enshrined for all time as our worst president ever. The most incompetent, the most ignorant, the most callous, reckless and dangerous man ever to hold the office. But wait, there is more.

The most dishonest. The most despised. The laziest person to sit in the Oval Office on his ample ass. The most vindictive, mean spirited and disgusting person to be (s)elected. And finally the worst breath likened by some to the smell a warthog makes when it farts loudly at the watering hole. Ok, I made that last part up, but dollars to doughnuts, he does have stinky breath, hence the need for Tic Tacs.

And that ladies and gentlemen is what allows me to hold on to my little bit of sanity. This sh*t really gets next to me sometimes, but I try to remember what is waiting for him when the historians record this period in our nation’s history. When I think of that, I smile. Ain’t karma a bitch?

writers, historians and journalists who will dig under every rock and put every day he has lived on this Earth and everything he has done under a microscope.
His life cannot withstand that and remain respected.
That is my small consolation in all this.

Will forever elude him. He went about it all wrong and never learned through experience how to get what he wanted. So he continues to lie, cheat and be dishonest to try to obtain what he wants any way he can. But the joke is on him. And I hope before he draws his last breath he realizes it. But if not? Oh, well, the historians, journalists and other writers will take care of his legacy for him, won’t they?

that love him.
He thinks they're goobers.
That's why he lies to them even when he doesn't need to, he thinks they are stupid and will believe anything.

Once he's dragged kicking and screaming from there, it will have to be fumigated.

And, who knows. Sane Americans might demand it be torn down and rebuilt in an attempt to banish the memory of the disease of his existence.
